The six-year-old is trained by Phillip Makin at Easingwold in North Yorkshire, a yard that has sent out 9 winners already this season, suggesting a stable in decent form. Fast Fred's most regular partner in the saddle is Rowan Scott, who has ridden him in 10 of his races for a single win together — 1 from 10, or 10%. That is not a spectacular partnership on paper, though it is worth noting that the combination has kept being tried, which usually means something is working even when the wins do not come.
His recent form reads 4-8-2-1-2-6, which tells a mixed story — a win in there, a couple of close finishes, and a couple of disappointing days. He first got his head in front in a race back in October 2024 at Redcar, and his most recent win came at Musselburgh just seven weeks ago, in April 2026. He raced just yesterday, so he is firmly in the thick of a busy campaign. Fast Fred is never going to trouble the sport's big occasions, but for a horse who knows what he likes — wet ground, a track that suits him — he is the kind of reliable, tricky customer that keeps small yards ticking over through a long season.
